We’re weeping, our eyes gushing tears.
And I don’t know if it’s longing or distress.
The wind’s drunk from our turmoil as it veers
And yes, I’m staggering now, I confess.
My husband and children give no relief,
It seems I’ve lost my way again.
I’m in and out of sleep with grief.
Every breath is wracked with pain.
Each new day becomes my enemy,
And love’s true face is concealed.
Why is fate so envious of me?
My hope’s ill and won’t be healed.
You’re innocent, wind, but oh I hate you.
Don’t dare caress my hair now, please!
I’m soured by unrequited love, it’s true.
And my heart will crack and freeze.

I always prayed that the Almighty one day
Would send me my life’s one true light,
And yes, I’ve regrets in longing this way,
But our meeting brimmed with delight.
I never thought sweet words of joy
Would swiftly turn quite so hollow,
But now it seems I’ve become a mere toy
Of the deceptive romance that followed.
I wanted you to be my spirit’s good healing
And not just caress my hair.
Stop here now: you’re betraying my feeling –
I won’t forgive you this sham love affair.
